Taste Of The Himalayas

This was about my 5th time coming here and I feel I have enough experience to right a review. I must say the food is absolutely amazing it's a simple menu with nothing out of its place. Super saucy, great flavor and just overall awesome! I enjoy the dishes they use to serve, too, nice touch. I have had all of the lamb curries, momos, naan, the pastry apetizers and of course the Chicken Tikka Masala. All pretty good, especially the naan (can't go wrong with delicious bread) but the spice levels vary on the curry for sure. Tikka? Totally rock a 6. The Takari? 4 is plenty thank you. Definetly worth a visit for the food. The service is where it lacks. Out of the 5 times, 2 were rough experiences, 1 was great and 2 were mediocre. Some servers don't write the order down and have messed up the order a couple times and were just not the best people to interact with. Not to mention one of the experiences I had the server did not seem "fully aware" and even said he wouldn't place the order a friend requested for whatever reason and argued with him about it until he complied. That was a one-off experience, however, and to me the food is worth coming back. Also, I've had good interactions, too, more than not. I recommend trying it out, love it and will come back often myself. - $60 for two - parking is average - food is amazing - service is better more often than not

First and foremost the price is decent, the portions could do better. I do agree that the curries were a tad bit sweet, but missing a few ingredients to give it that kick, the pakora was tasty. Wish there was more. The chicken butter Masala was very buttery and the chicken vindaloo was too sweet, wish they had more meat then sauce. The herbal Naan was so heavenly it fused and melted in your mouth with the savory and herbal mixture melting on your pallete. The service was great. Our server was nice and ensured we were well taken care of. If you are in yhe area I would recommend coming to five them a Try the aesthetic is very appealing

The food at Taste of the Himalayas was excellent. We ordered lamb and shrimp dishes that were full of flavor, add to that the naan that was soft and buttery. I especially loved the coconut naan as it was both desert and part of the main meal. Definitely worth returning to explore more menu items. I gave 4 stars on service because our food took very long and we were already starving when we got to the restaurant. Perhaps they were understaffed?!

Ordered Bhanta Ra Chicken (Spice level 1), Chicken Tikka Masala (Spice level 7) and naan. Their spice level ranges from 1 to 10 and the server mentioned that the spice level across different dishes is not the same for each dish (a level 3 for one is not the same as another. The Tikka Masala tasted alright over the rice. The eggplant they use in Bhanta Ra is not like the purple eggplant but the 'Thai eggplant' variety that is green. At a spice level 1, I should have selected a higher level. The naan was very nice to eat, soft and easy to tear apart. The portions are good and the service was very kind. Ambiance of the location is quite nice, not too dimly lit and plenty of seating.

Point Loma location is the one I’ve always been too. First time at this location and it’s equally as good. Plenty of parking. Has indoor and patio seating. Very vegetarian friendly. I got the vegetable momo which are dumplings with paneer. I’m not a fan of paneer but it wasn’t noticeable. I also got vegetable samosa, came with two. Very flavorful. Got Daal soup which is a lentil soup. For my main dish I got vegetable vindaloo. The vindaloo here is a bit different than other places that I’ve eaten. There’s lots of vegetable that took over the sauce. The sauce was creamy and not spicy. Naturally this dish is spicy. But you had 1 through 10 level and I picked 3. It wasn’t spicy. The chiya masala tea was my favorite. It tastes like chai tea and it takes 20 minutes to make from scratch with milk spiced tea so order it early on. We ordered herb naan and cilantro garlic naan. The cilantro naan is the way to go.
